I'd like to see more posts like this honestly, I know reading these things aren't for everyone, but having the actual document and (hopefully) the discussion of it is exactly how I'd like to be getting my news and information these days. I'm tired of our filtered world.

Some serious judicial indictment of the federal government to be found in there regarding the disregard of the constitution.

“The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order."

Yeah.

Yup, I have to repeat Hanlon's Razor daily, it's sort of become a mantra.

Could this whole situation really be as simple as the largest scale "pump-and-dump" ever?

It is absolutely baffling that people don't realize that people are the product. I've had some folks tell me that they understand and "don't care" because the service is "free" or whatever, but then they get angry and freaked out when the platform knows exactly what they're thinking, or at least seems to know.

There's definitely a deficit in understanding and education on what corporate social media really does.

My partner and I have been ogling much of their wares for the last year or so. I could easily spend $3,000 on the website (you know, if I had $3,000 to blow on clothes).

That's how I do it too, or if I'm lazy I throw the strap in a shirt pocket that has a button. Works well for me and I have washed my Trail Loop like that many times over the past couple of years. I don't run them through the dryer though.

I don't have any suggestions, but I'm curious what "design and development" flaws you see as major blockers with Lemmy?

I've been running it as my main microblogging account for a year and it's been extremely solid and uses so little resources that it could be run on a 486 processor (actually, I've seen someone doing exactly that). It works well with most of the clients I've tried (on iOS). And the dev is just a super friendly and responsive person.

I hope every subsequent rally has even more people!

Don't let yourself fall for the lie that the party is eternal.

Exactly. More people need to let go of the idea that the people cannot affect massive change like this. Of course change will never happen if you don't believe it's possible.

I had forgotten about doing that myself. I did that on a couple servers once the distros had full 64 bit builds. Does that technically count as an architecture swap in-place as well?

“Medium: Same as easy but go from the derivative to the base.”

I can't quite recall, but I think I did exactly that with Ubuntu -> Debian once upon a time. I think Ubuntu was only a year or so old though, so there wasn't a huge amount of divergence back then. As a bonus anecdote I also attempted a semi-successful build of Gentoo on a PPC Mac around the same time (nothing before or after that has compared in its level of nightmare).

Fix regression with saving states of user queries

Awesome, I'm really glad that's finally fixed. That issue made my use of FreshRSS almost pointless.

I’ve been wondering about that one, had it on my wishlist forever and forgot why I put it there. I think I’ll pick it up, so thanks for the recommendation!

It actually sounded like he was about to say he had actually been there, then realized he was about to lie about that to a guy who would immediately recognize and likely call him out for lying, so he then course corrected with a seriously lame response.

I mean, the "president" is the guy from The Apprentice. 🤮

I just wonder what type of people saw that and thought Zelenskyy was the unreasonable one? It's rhetorical, I know what type of people think that... sadly.

I've had that happen quite a few times over the years with iOS devices. The only thing I've ever been able to think of is that it was a carrier message that caused the notification. Carriers do sometimes send SMS messages that aren't normal messages (for updating carrier settings, activation, and who knows what else).

I just can't understand why Vance would interpret Zelenskyy as being disrespectful for politely, calmly, and carefully articulating his point of view on how diplomacy has failed him and his country. Vance seems like the type of person I would basically laugh at and walk away from if I were in a situation to have to hear him be "alpha and in-charge".

It was like watching a scene from an episode of a reality TV show from the early 2000s.
